Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

In the end, she withdrew the green radiance, and around Zhou Fuqiu, a rich, mysterious black Spirit Qi had already condensed.

”Your Innate Daoist Body is the Xuanming Dao Body recorded in the ancient texts!”

Zhou Fuqiu asked curiously, ”This is what my ancestor also said, but as I perused many texts, I didn’t find a detailed account of this Dao Body. I’m not sure about its advantages and disadvantages?”

Qing Lan Fairy smiled and said, ”There are many advantages. This Dao Body greatly enhances your cultivation efficiency, allowing you to automatically reject the intrusion of other Spirit Qi, saving you from expending effort during cultivation.”

Just this first point is something countless people dream of!

In the world, countless wandering Spirit Qi exist, mixed with various attributes.

Cultivators often expend a significant amount of energy in inhaling and refining Qi.

During the Qi Refinement Stage, they absorb everything in one go, then gradually refine, transform, and purify it into Spirit Power suited for themselves.

After the Foundation Establishment Stage, cultivators release their Spirit Consciousness to identify and select Spirit Qi with the corresponding attribute from the Outer World during absorption, thus improving efficiency somewhat.

Clearly, Zhou Fuqiu, who possesses the Xuanming Dao Body, can directly bypass these processes.

As long as the Spirit Vein Rank is high and the Spirit Qi is dense, he can breathe freely and absorb it.

From his master, Zhou Fuqiu also learned about other advantages of the Xuanming Dao Body.

Persons with this Physique typically have meridians that are several times wider than ordinary people, enabling smooth and powerful Qi Power flow with highly efficient output.

Likewise, the Dantian Acupoints—places for storing Qi Power—are similar.

This just confirms the abyss-like Sea of Qi Zhou Fuqiu developed during his Foundation Establishment!

Additionally, the Xuanming Dao Body has a certain resistance to intense toxins and foul contaminants, and is considered one of the rare ”immune to all poisons” bodies. If used for cultivation in some Detoxification Techniques, the effects are also exceptional.

Zhou Fuqiu thought back to his childhood when his Seventh Aunt tried to harm him with ”Strengthening God Soup,” which caused a severe reaction in his sister who accidentally consumed it, while he remained unaffected. Even after regurgitating it later, he felt nothing.

Clearly, what the master said was true.

”As for its disadvantages, I’m not too sure, as this Physique is extremely rare.”

”Among Water Spiritual Bodies, the most common are the Low-level Jade Water Body, Nine Bends and Circles, Cold Soul Body, and so forth. Higher-order ones include the Innate Water Spirit Body, Netherworld Dao Body, and Taiyin True Water Body.”

”A Xuanming Dao Body like yours is nearly as rare as the ultimate Water Element Dao Embryo, hardly seen even once in tens of thousands of years.”

Zhou Fuqiu clicked his tongue in surprise, unable to imagine that even such matters as cultivator Physiques had so many distinctions.

What shocked him more was the Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s depth of knowledge in this area.

The fact that his master could casually name so many Physiques was a testament to the sect’s profound foundation.

After examining Zhou Fuqiu’s inherent talent and Physique, Qing Lan Fairy also began to prepare for his future cultivation.

”Which Cultivation Technique did you practice before?”

Without hesitation, Zhou Fuqiu candidly replied.

”’Lu Chan Technique’”

Qing Lan Fairy was momentarily confused, and it wasn’t until Zhou Fuqiu added ”Beihai Demon Skill” that she abruptly understood.

”A Quick Success Method?”

The woman’s brows visibly furrowed.

”No wonder you achieved Foundation Establishment at the young age of twenty-one and even displayed Late Stage Foundation Establishment mana fluctuations earlier; it’s because you took such a shortcut.”

”Who taught you this?”

”Was it Friend Zhou Yunshen?”

Zhou Fuqiu bowed and replied, ”Please, Master, do not be angered with the ancestor; this Cultivation Technique is the choice I made as a child, and no one else is to blame.”

Though Qing Lan Fairy’s delicate brows remained knitted, ”I thought Friend Zhou would not be so unwise. Such a Demonic Technique, although offering rapid progress, carries significant flaws and hidden dangers. Given your talent, your cultivation speed is inherently fast, allowing you to pursue techniques that may be slower to cultivate but produce robust Qi Power and a solid foundation, fully exploiting your Physique and reaching even greater potential!”

While speaking, she waved her hand, and five streaks of Liuguang floated above the great hall.

Glancing up, Zhou Fuqiu saw each streak of Liuguang flash with dazzling characters, evidently some high-level techniques.

Among them were three with which he was very familiar, having been gifted to him before Mo Wanting, the Yuheng Institute Director, left.

”These are the five best Water Element Techniques of our Tianyuan Daoist Sect, each with the potential to directly reach the Dao of God Transformation. Seize the opportunity before you reach Core Formation to switch to your Natal Qi Technique!”

However, Zhou Fuqiu refused.

”Master, I feel that the ’Lu Chan Technique’ suits me well, so there’s no need to switch techniques.”

Qing Lan Fairy replied displeased, ”Do you only seek fast progress and disregard a solid foundation?”

”But my foundation isn’t exactly weak, is it?” Zhou Fuqiu retorted.

As he spoke, the overwhelming mana fluctuations appeared around him once more.

Once again, Qing Lan Fairy was astonished.

In fact, they had already observed Zhou Fuqiu’s mana situation together at Tianyuan Temple, where everyone was only amazed by his high Realm.

But now, knowing that he had only practiced the ’Lu Chan Technique,’ this amazement turned into disbelief.

To cultivate such abundant Qi Power using a Demon Path Technique known for its scarcity in Qi Power defied logic.

”Could it be due to the Xuanming Dao Body?”

Qing Lan Fairy was utterly puzzled.

Physique is merely a type of talent that allows one to accommodate and learn more as they grow, but it does not spontaneously generate additional resources.

Zhou Fuqiu’s circumstance was excessively peculiar.

The only explanation might be that the Xuanming Dao Body exceptionally complements the ’Lu Chan Technique,’ using its innate strengths to compensate for the shortcomings of the Postnatal Technique.
